This was a very nice and comfortable flat, exactly as described, if not better than in the pictures. There is a nice little balcony to eat breakfast or read, and it's very conveniently located (try the Serendipity second hand bookstore just across the street). There was some nice local bathroom products as well, and everything was really clean. Dave was very helpful and even proposed to help me get there with my heavy backpack from the marina (no need actually, it's really 5 minutes away)!

We loved our stay at Dave's Airbnb! It was all that we expected and more. We loved the decor and all the special touches that Dave had added. We found beautiful flowers on the lovely little deck that was private while still offering a view of the street below. There were local treats, coffee and refreshments provided. I personally was delighted to find lavender shampoo and conditioner that will always remind me of this special getaway. We will return. Thank you for all the thoughtfulness!

PattiAugust 2015

Great experience for our first time Airbnb !!! The suite was very clean and comfortable. Perfect location to retails and restaurants. Host Dave and Janis's reminder and responses for questions were efficient and details. Next time we visit Friday Harbor again will stay here again!! :)

ChristineJuly 2015

Dave's communication was methodical and all the information related to checkin was provided well in advance. Dave was extremely prompt and nice when I did need answers to questions. The location was excellent and the apartment in immaculate condition. Dave had even left thoughtful things like chocolate, coffee sachets, maps and guide books in the room. The only negative of our trip was being woken by a gym class on the floor below the room at 9 AM on Saturday. This may not affect a lot of people but it did affect my girlfriend and I as we were hoping for a lazy weekend. This one negative experience tainted my otherwise perfect stay. I'd give it 4.99999 stars if I could!

AniketNovember 2015

It was a nice place to stay and centrally located. Really enjoyed our time on the island. Thank you very much.

MikeSeptember 2015

This place is great! Very clean and comfortable! The bed was really comfortable too. David was awesome. He is responsive and welcoming. The location is unbeatable and the cheapest we could find. Couldn't have asked for better.

JohnMay 2014

My sister and I had a very nice time in Friday Harbor. Dave was a great host and we couldn't have asked for nicer or cleaner accommodations. It was great to be right downtown near the ferry terminal and have a comfortable place to go back to in between wandering. There is also a guaranteed parking spot, which is hard to come by. We highly recommend this listing to anyone interested.

KendallJune 2014

What a great experience! First, I cannot overstate what a stand-up guy David is. Unbeknownst to us, he had lowered his nightly rates since we booked our stay. When we arrived, there was a note explaining this, as well as a cash refund for the difference! Amazing! Second, the place is adorable, well situated, and very comfortable. It was perfect as a home base as we explored San Juan Island. I would happily recommend David as a host. Thanks for having us!

IMPORTANT NOTE: due to local zoning , we're limited in how often we can rent- we can only do one rental every thirty days. See full description for details.
House is extremely welcoming & friendly. Great location close to town & ferries.

As mentioned, we're only able to do one rental every 30 days. This means that we're most interested in longer term rentals. Feel free to reach out and inquire, but understand that we're limited in how often we can rent. Thanks for your understanding!
House is immediately comfortable. Spacious kitchen. Hot tub. Queen sized bed in guest room. Very warm and welcoming. House was carefully built using wood from island trees and makes for a nice get away. Sit on the porch and relax, read books in the nook, or cook dinner in the spacious and open kitchen.
Guests will have the entire house to themselves while here.
This house is listed as a stand alone rental. I'll likely be nearby and available to answer questions if need be, but you'll have the house to yourselves.

The neighborhood is near town and there are neighbors, but the house itself is private and secluded feeling. Like most things on the island, it's quiet and peaceful here.
First off- getting to the island:
Ferry to Friday Harbor (on San Juan Island) leaves from Anacortes, a 90 minute drive N of Seattle (assuming you're not leaving the city at 5pm). You can (and should) make reservations for both legs of your ferry ride if you're bringing a car over (no need for reservations if you're walking or biking on the ferry). Reservations require a 10$ deposit, but that's waived when you actually use your reservation. Main ferry website is at: http://www.wsdot.com/ferries/. You can view schedules and make reservations from that page. Note that you only pay on your way to the island, returning to Anacortes is free. Reservations are released in blocks 2 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days before date of travel (at 7am).
Once you're on the island:
Having a car is nice, as some of the most lovely spots are some distance from "town". That said, lots of people just bring bikes to the island. You can rent cars, mopeds, bikes, etc. There is a shuttle around the island in the summer. Adventurous souls find the hitch hiking here way easier and safer feeling than the mainland- and it's a great way to meet friendly, interesting people.
Walking or biking on the ferry that goes between the islands is free!
There is a garage where bikes can be stowed. There's a TV in upstairs bedroom. It's connected to a DVD player, has ChromeCast, and a little adapter to connect your Iphone or Ipad. No cable.

Brendan's home is even more beautiful in person. He has hundreds of books in built-in bookshelves and a delightful reading nook (!), a tasteful decorating style, and comfortable bedding. His place was also immaculately clean. Brendan proved to be a very thoughtful and considerate host, providing a map and lists of his favorite places and activities in the islands. Additionally, I mentioned during my initial emails that my fiancé and I were marrying soon, and he left us a bottle of wine as a congratulatory gift when we arrived. A short walk from the docks and the rest of town, his home is tucked away from the street and remains amazingly quiet throughout the day. He even has a hot tub! We are already planning our return trip to the San Juans, in large part because his home was so relaxing.

ShawnAugust 2015

We loved this cozy little cabin tucked behind a surround of trees and shrubs and just a hop, skip and a jump from town & the ferry. We hope to come back again in the summer.

ColetteJanuary 2016

Great location. Extremely clean. Lovely ambiance. Very comfy beds. Even better than listed online. Close to town. Brendan was very accommodating. Well stocked kitchen. Felt like home.

KarenOctober 2015

Great place to relax for a couple days-- everything was very clean and comfortable. Brendan was very accommodating and a pleasure to meet. Would love to come back for a longer stay.

ValerieMarch 2014

What first impressed me was how very responsive Brendan was to any questions I had. That started during the reservation process, and carried over after I arrived when I had a quick question. Brendan's home is wonderfully situated. It is within walking distance of Friday Harbor proper (I indeed walked to town a lot), yet removed enough from the city proper - and set back from the road - to provide the serenity, quiet, and "getaway" experience I wanted on this particular trip. Brendan provided perfectly detailed bits and pieces of information I needed to make his house my home. And I will add that there were personal touches and amenities inside and outside the home that lent a feeling - and realization - I was dropping in on a much loved and cherished true dwelling and residence, as opposed to the experience of being in merely a sterile, impersonal "rental". Brendan also provided a comprehensive list, accompanied by his personal and honest reviews, of restaurants in the area, and activities and things to do that he felt were worth a try. That clearly came from the obvious fact that the San Juans is where he lives, and his great sense and understanding of the area and what might appeal to people - especially those not familiar with not only Friday Harbor, but the San Juans in general. Much appreciated were the web links he provided. His hiking trails link helped me decide to visit and hike Lime Kiln Point State Park. And, the link to a San Juan calendar of events prompted me to attend a wonderful lecture at the local library! I would not hesitate to return(URL HIDDEN)

DonSeptember 2016

Brendan's house is amazing, My girlfriend and I immediately felt at home when we walked in. The location is perfect for spending time near Friday Harbor, but also feels completely secluded and far away from any crowded neighborhood. Brendan was super easy to communicate with, answered all my questions, and provided great feedback about things to do on the island. We stayed in middle November, and if the weather had been terrible, we would have still been happy just staying in the house and using the hot tub!

JeffNovember 2016

The home is beautiful, it has everything you could need. Walking distance to town and food shopping. I highly recomend to anyone .

joelJune 2016

Brendan was an excellent host and the house is amazing. He had keys waiting for us on arrival, a list of local restaurants (with accurate reviews), neighborhood and property information, and even towels laid out on the beds. The location is close enough to town, but far enough away to be serene. The neighborhood is quiet, day and night. The hot tub is perfectly secluded on the side of the house and we even had some close encounters with hummingbirds while relaxing out there. Brendan promptly replied to text messages and emails that we sent during our stay. We hope to get back to Friday Harbor soon and we would definitely stay here again! Thank you for the amazing hospitality, Brendan!

This is a cute waterfront studio apartment, 1.5 miles from town. The apartment is 400sq ft with a 200sq ft deck looking out over Griffin Bay to the South East.
There's beach access for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, sea glass hunting, fort building etc.
We keep a kayak and paddle board on the beach for you to use.
There is one queen bed and two twins, full bathroom, kitchen, TV, propane stove and deck. Laundry and parking.
Please feel free to ask any questions!

The beach, view and water access
Full kitchen, bathroom, deck overlooking griffin bay, Laundry in the garage downstairs.
I'll be around if you need anything, but also happy to leave you to your privacy.

The neighborhood is quiet, incredibly scenic and direct access to the beach and water
Please note, this house is right on the waterfront, so especially in the winter, if there is a strong South or Easterly wind, there is considerable noise of the wind whistling around the house. If you love storms, this might be a wonderful, cozy experience, if you are worried that it may keep you up at night, you may want to consider ear plugs.

This place was exactly what we needed for a weekend getaway from the city. Centrally located with enough distance from downtown to enjoy the peace and quiet. Nige was a great host! We'd love to try and get back next summer.

JennyNovember 2016

Nige's place is about a mile away from Downtown Friday Harbor Ferry Terminal and close to restaurants. Yet it is private and has got a good Water Front. Nige was gracious by helping us check-in early and also had Wine set up for us as we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary. Great host and very safe and clean place. Would come back to visit.

ShivaNovember 2016

This place worked well for me. I work over here often, and needed a change from the norm. It was quiet and peaceful.

RogerOctober 2016

The place was wonderful. If you are looking for a quite place and enjoy the sea view, this is your place. Nige was ready for us and easy to reach for any last minute things. Thanks Nige.

AnasNovember 2016

Great for a quick weekend getaway. Near to Friday Harbor and easy to find. Quiet and private. Nice view of the Sound.

DavidNovember 2016

The place was great. Clean, easy to find, quite and had a beautiful view. The host was very helpful and responded quickly every time we contacted him. I would definitely return.

adrieneNovember 2016

I wanted a comfortable place to stay on the waterfront with a kitchen to cook in. That's exactly what I found here. Loved the mattress and fireplace too! Waking up to that view with my French pressed morning coffee was exactly what I needed.

EricaNovember 2016

This place was great! Thanks so much for the hospitality!

My place is close to restaurants and dining, art and culture, and great views. You’ll love my place because of the view of the Olympic Mountain Range you can still enjoy the outdoors when its raining because of the wrap around covered deck. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and furry friends (pets).

Laundry
Kitchen all dishes silverware & cooking implements
Fire pit
Carport
Wrap around decks
Coolers
Fridge and freezer space
I work a lot between caregiving and catering, I do not use the basement level at all when guest are in, I have my own floor with a living room, TV and bathroom.

What I love about my neighbors is I NEVER SEE THEM! Trees every where! You may hear an occasional roaster crowing but that's about it!
No public transit other that taxi and shuttles
This is a 3 level 4 bedroom house, you will have 1 whole level (the basement level) to yourself and the top level is my domain and is off limits. The second level is the shared level with a Kitchen dining room table that seats 8 people, a wrap around covered deck, and carport. I do have additional room if you are needing to sleep more people, I can accommodate 2 extra people in a double bed. So I can sleep 6 if need be;)

First of all, when I went looking online she had one price of $66 a night and a discount for a week, then the next day it showed 5 ppl looking at the same dates to book there and them the price changed to $75. I figured that wasn't bad because I was staying a week, but then she didn't offer that. That she should have changed it in the system. That I was getting a great price anyway because she over charges in the summer. She was not there when I was, which is fine, but its very dark at night and extremely hard to find. I got in late the first night there and there were no outsides lights left on for me. There were no instructions where to find the switch for these lights. I had to point my car towards the door and use my headlights to see where to walk. The front foyer to the house is left open for the cat to go in and out but you're not supposed to let it in the door to the house. However, the cat dashes in the minute you open the door and I had to chase him down and put him out. Just enough for him to cling to me and rip my sweater. The home has a funny odor and the sheets and blankets did not smell clean. It is very cold downstairs. There is heater in the main room, but she asks that you turn it off at night. There is also a heater in the room which is good, until you walk out the bedroom door and freeze. There is a nice view from the patio, but the door to get out there is broken. She says she has it on her list to fix and to just push one side real hard and pull the other side the opposite direction. Sometimes that worked; sometimes it didn't. I have a great video of the challenge. The carpet on the stairs is filthy dirty. I have pictures. She has a coffee press there, but since I don't know how to use it, it was useless to me. After two days, I had enough. I asked her to refund my money despite her cancellation policy. She said she would and was sorry I wasn't happy. We agreed on paying for a two day stay. I told her I should not have to pay the cleaning fee either because the sheets weren't clean and I would make sure that the bathroom was scrubbed clean. She replied, that whatever I wanted was fine. Getting the refund: I paid $598. She charged me $75/day with tax, which is fine. I stayed two days. She ended up charging me the cleaning fee after she said she wouldn't. I ended up getting only $266 back. It should have been $398. She said that Air bnb didn't pay her $ 598, they only paid her $498, so I should take...

MichelleOctober 2016

We didn't actually meet/see Christina during our stay due to her busy schedule and us being out during the day, but she was super easy to reach, very friendly and chill, and made sure everything was ready for us. The private room is the entire basement flat and was clean and spacious! We used her kitchen for several meals and obviously it was very well equipped. You definitely need a car as the house is outside of town but it was a quick 5-10 min drive and we enjoyed the peace and quiet.

JulienOctober 2016

I had a really positive experience during my stay in Christina's place. It is very clean and shown just like the pictures. We had the entire basement floor to ourselves. The location is really convenient (6 minutes by drive to friday harbor). Overall, Christian is an amazing host. I would recommend to stay at this place during your visit in San Juan island.

EricaJuly 2016

Was able to stay here two weeks! It was quiet and peaceful, close to town and easy to find. I would recommend this location for those traveling as 1 or 2.

KerriSeptember 2016

Christina is a very gracious host! My daughter absolutely adored her. Her house has everything that a vacationing family would ever need! Her home is very spacious and very convenient to downtown. The living area was very spacious! We felt completely welcomed and very comfortable in her home. I will absolutely stay with her the next time I visit San Juan!

NinaJuly 2016

Came to FH for a little R&R and this was the perfect spot. Everything you could need with plenty of space. Christina is a great host and you hardly know she is there! Thanks for a great stay!

LauraSeptember 2016

Christina is SOOOOOO cool!!! She makes you feel welcomed by just being nearly invisible and yet extending a "mi casa, su casa" feeling from the second she is in contact.

JenJuly 2016

My sons and I had a wonderful stay at Christina's lovely home. The house is situated in a very quiet neighborhood and the guest floor is very spacious. As she's a chef her kitchen has EVERYTHING you could want if you're thinking of cooking during your visit. She was super communicative before our arrival and even had freshly baked muffins waiting for us. The only bummer was not being able to meet her during our stay.

During the "Quiet Season" (Oct.thru Feb) we offer a "3rd night FREE". Just ask for Special when booking. Everyone needs a 3 day break this time of year and the island offers mossy trails, stormy beaches, and good restaurants. Stay in our Studio Suite filled with books, magazines, old fashioned games, and a bakery next door for your morning delectibles. With the Studio's cathedral ceilings, plenty of windows for natural light and a full kitchen you can relax in cozy comfort.

The Studio Suite is spacious with cathedral ceilings and many windows for natural light and town views. The queeen size bed is in a separate alcove with a privacy wall between the sleeping area and the living area. The living area conatains a queen size and a single futon for additional guests' sleeping arrangements.
We have two suites that lead off of a large shared deck with outdoor dining furniture and charcoal barbeque for each Suite. The two Suites do not share a common wall and the deck has a privacy screen between dining areas.
You will be supplied with a keycode to access the Suite at our check in time of 4 PM and you can just go on in and make yourself at home. All the information you will need can be found in the Suite. We live 3 miles out of town and are always available should you need anything.

We are located in a cluster of mixed use cottages. Within our neighorhood you will find a bakery next door, the farmers market, and award winning restaurant, a great deli for lunches. and my favorite used bookstore.
No need to bring a car in the summer months. You can take San Juan Transit bus service, rent a car, bicycle, or mopeds to tour the Island parks, trails and beaches. All of the restaurants, shopping (including groceries) and entertainment of Friday Harbor is within easy walking distance. If you do decide to bring a car we have offstreet parking.

This place was such a pleasant surprise. The unit itself is totally comfortable and roomy, very clean and well stocked. I can't imagine a better location to call home base. We could walk to food, movies, groceries, museums and shops. And it's an easy drive to anything you could want on the island. The only thing I'd add is that San Juan Island only runs at half speed until April or so. So many of the shops and restaurants were closed when we visited in early March. Find for us, we were looking for a quiet getaway, which is exactly what we got. A rainy weekend, books, great meals. The coffee shop that is right at the bottom of the stairs has some of the best pastries I've ever had, the cheese shop across the street is awesome for a light lunch. And then a short walk back to this perfect little place. We look forward to coming back in the summer, and renting both units that share the deck, with the rest of the family. But this was a perfect get away for just the two of us.

AlyssaMarch 2016

This was the perfect weekend getaway. Kristen was so gracious and her place has everything you would want or need for a trip to the islands. I will definitely be coming back. Also her place is next to the islands best cafe and the Saturday farmers market :) the bed was super comfortable, we slept longer than I can ever remember back home. We were able to play checkers at night in front of the fire place with her remote control flame less candles and Bluetooth speakers playing ! It was just what we needed.

JustinNovember 2015

Check-in was easy and convenient. Kirsten was very helpful. Great location with off-street parking, and awesome options for food and drinks in all directions.

RichMarch 2016

I called Kristen the morning of our reservation. As no one had stayed in the unit the night before, it was ready before check in time. She invited us to check in when we got there, which was very convenient given reliance on the ferry systems schedule. The unit was better than the pictures, clean, comfortable, plenty of extra towels, dishes. Coffee and tea were available. Location is within walking of most ammentities. Dog friendly, with instructions to 2 dog parks and a dog friendly beach.

RickMarch 2016

It is in a perfect location and everything in Friday Harbor is easily walkable from here. They included a treat for our dog and good directions to the local dog-parks. We would not hesitate to stay here again for our next trip to Friday Harbor.

JordanSeptember 2016

The host canceled this reservation 19 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Monique

This a wonderful place in an absolutely perfect location. Kirsten supplied clear instructions for getting to the apartment so we could find it in the dark. We had everything we needed. It was close to everything - restaurants, shops, movie theatre, bookstores. We want to go back again and again.

PattyDecember 2015

Beautiful space in the center of town and with a bit of privacy because it's set back from the road. The apartment is small but spacious and could accommodate a crowd without feeling crowded. Kirsten was available via text (or phone, if there's cell service) and gave us some tips on what to do in the off-season. She has a professional cleaner who apparently is very good at their job. I can easily recommend this spot.

Our stay at the Carriage house was amazing! It exceeded our expectations and was an added bonus to a wonderful vacation! I would recommend the Carriage house to anyone who is looking to visit Friday Harbor!

AshleeOctober 2016

The carriage house is absolutely adorable,nicely furnished ,very bright as soon as the sun rises great location.

ToddOctober 2016

Surprisingly, I was greeted by Tom, the owners go to guy. He has many years of experience on San Juan Island We had a nice talk about boats. The owners came by shortly thereafter. Turns out that they love boating too ! All within 5 minutes of arrival. I did not expect that. Now that is the personal touch !

A cozy cottage steps from the Orcas Island ferry terminal. Perfect as a home base to explore the San Juans or a place to relax and watch the boats come and go in the harbor.

Sarah Jane's Cottage is a versatile space, perfect for a romantic getaway for two, or for a group looking to explore Orcas or all of the San Juan Islands. The house comes with a king bed along with a couch that pulls out into a bed. No matter whether you just want to crash in the cottage at the end of a long day of adventures or sit on the deck and watch the ferries come and go, Sarah Jane's is a cozy cottage with a gorgeous view of the water.
What makes the cottage so special is the location. When you get off the ferry, you're at your private parking space in moments. You're within walking distance of everything you need - a restaurant, gift shops, a small grocery store, and transportation rentals. If you want to visit any of the other islands the Washington State Ferry system services, you can just walk down the hill to the ferry terminal and walk on to any of the inter-island ferries for free.
Two important pieces of information to keep in mind: (1) the cottage does not have a full kitchen but it does have a mini fridge, coffee machine, toaster oven, microwave, and small griddle; (2) the cottage is located near the ferry terminal but is a 15 minute drive from the core of Eastsound.
Guests have access to free WiFi, Dish Network, and a DVD player. While there is no full kitchen, guests do have access to a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and dishes during their stay.
We do prefer to meet guests when they arrive, show them in, and make sure they get settled but that is flexible if you'd rather we simply leave the key for you somewhere just let us know. After check in, there will always be someone available if you have any questions or need anything during your stay.

If it is your first time staying, you will have no trouble finding us! Just look out the window as you approach Orcas... we're the yellow cottages just up the hill to the left of the ferry dock!
Within walking distance, we have a wonderful market where you can buy groceries, coffee, pre-made sandwiches and pizza, household essentials, beer, wine, or liquor. Be warned: their breakfast burritos are pretty addictive.
Also nearby is the Cottage Gift Shop. It is full of fun souvenirs and surprises -and- has the largest selection of Orcas Island t-shirts on the island.
The historic Orcas Hotel is just across the street. The view from their charming cafe is beautiful and the food at both the cafe and Octavia's Bistro is delicious!
If you're looking to take a whale watching tour, Orcas Island Eclipse Charters leaves from just next to the cottages.
For access to more restaurants, boutiques, yoga studios, museums, and theaters, Eastsound is a short (but beautiful) 8 mile drive away.
The cottage has a private parking space if you decide to bring a car along. There is nearby parking for any additional cars. If you choose not to bring a car with you, rentals are available through Orcas Island Shuttle and they will drop off the car anywhere you like, including right by the ferry terminal, if you make your reservation at least 24 hours in advance.
If you're looking for a home base to explore all of the San Juans, look no further. Our proximity to the ferry terminal allows for easy walk-on or drive-on travel on the Washington State Ferries.

Amazing location for a relaxing weekend or as a jumping off point to explore Orcas Island. Rebecca was accommodating enough to meet us upon arrival despite a late ferry change, and gave us a great overview of the island to get us started. Made for a lovely weekend.

HankNovember 2016

SethNovember 2016

Rebecca was very nice and hospitable. Such a wonderful greeting! The cottage was beautiful with great attention to detail.

JeredOctober 2016

This cottage is wonderful! It's a perfect spot to get cozy and watch the ferries come in.

TessaOctober 2016

The hostess greeted us with a sign standing next to the cabin, welcoming us by name. WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!

ScottNovember 2016

Rebecca greeted us with a warm welcome upon pulling off the ferry and quite literally right into our parking spot in front of her darling cottage. Her love for hosting was made immediately apparent by all the thoughtful touches she has made to the cottage and she made sure we had everything we needed to make our weekend getaway special and comfortable. She was also extremely responsive when we had questions during our stay. The cottage itself is extremely well appointed and absolutely perfectly outfitted for a weekend or short stay when you don't plan on doing intensive cooking (we did, however, bring a campstove and fondue pot and enjoyed each of our evenings on the patio). I would note that there is a sister cottage that you potentially share an outdoor space with; our neighbors seemed to be gone or in their abode for most of the weekend, so we weren't bothered. Certainly wasn't an issue for us, but it's not entirely private in the outdoor space, if that's what you're in search of. The ferries coming in and out day and night are a dream. The space is well laid out - gorgeous views from the dining table and bed, and everything is oh-so-comfy. You're also just up the street from a charming grocery store that carries an astounding amount of specialty items. Pretty much perfect. We were sad to leave but able to watch the cottages from the ferry as we departed. Rebecca is as wonderful a host as you could hope for.

CaitlinNovember 2016

Great little cottage steps away from the ferry terminal on Orcas. Parking right outside the door and easy access to Orca Village and the rest of the island. I stayed there with my Dad and sister and we were very comfortable. No kitchen in the unit, but kitchenette allows for the basics. Killer view and nice patio to enjoy cup of coffee and watch the boats come and go. I would stay again for the price!

Patrick October 2016

Rebecca was really outstanding meeting us when the ferry came in and staying in touch. Nice to have a coffee amd watch the ferry boats come in.

Our comfortable one bedroom cottage with sun-room will allow you to relax after a day of exploring the island. It comfortably fits two and is centrally located on an historic old farmstead. A easy 15 minute drive to most attractions. Dog friendly.

YANKEE CREEK FARM is Located 2.5 miles from the town of Friday Harbor. It is the historic homestead of the King family. The original home built in 1897. Back in the day, it was a dairy farm producing milk, cream & butter.
The guest cottage has pastoral views overlooking a wetland that is home to many migrating birds. It has one queen bed, a full bath, kitchen/living room, with a comfortable attached sun-room.
Because the guest cottage only has one bedroom, we would prefer a couple. However, additional guests can utilize the hide-abed for an additional cost of $20/ person, with prior approval.
The kitchen is small but well apportioned with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker & Coffee/tea, toaster, electric skillet , blender, etc. A BBQ patio area is also attached. Hair dryer. Satellite TV, internet and texting are included while cell phone reception can be spotty.
We welcome your dog, in fact we offer prearranged doggy daycare (for a fee) while you enjoy all that the Islands have to offer, such as whale watching, bike riding, the farmers market, or just a quiet meal in town.
You are welcome to explore the farm. If you have a dog there is plenty of space to walk and play. It is important that your dog is well socialized so it will enjoy interacting with our pack of five.
It is also a nice neighborhood for a walk or run with no traffic.
We really like helping people discover what we love about our island. So we are happy to share our local knowledge to help you make the most of your time here.

The best part of living here is the proximity to town and all the island attractions. Nothing is more than a fifteen minute drive. After a full day you have a quiet, country setting to come home to.
If you come without a car, a few options are the shuttle. Which gives unlimited rides to all the places of interest for $15. for an all day pass. The taxi cost approx. $12. to the Farm. Mopeds can be rented in town to tour on. Also the bike shop has good quality bikes to rent.
The kitchen is small but well apportioned with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker & Coffee/tea, toaster, electric skillet , blender, etc. Hair dryer. Satellite TV, internet and texting are included while cell phone reception can be spotty.

We had a lovely time at Barbara and Al's cottage. Very comfortable in a very pretty farm like setting. Everything provided was excellent and even some treat extras not expected including a small bottle of Proseco. Barbara was out and about but Al was a most gracious and interesting host.

RobertFebruary 2016

We enjoyed our stay. The farm is a short drive from town in the quiet country. The only sounds we heard most of the time were ducks! Since we were traveling with our dog, we especially appreciated that we could leave him while exploring the island. We were able to let him run around in the yard. The host provided a doggie bed and towels. Our dog loved playing with their pups.

SandraJanuary 2016

They showed me around the house and told me about places to visit/eat on the island.

What a wonderful getaway! We spent 3 lovely nights at this great private cottage on Yankee Creek Farm. The cottage is really nicely modeled and spotless clean! Getting up in the morning and making your own coffee and sitting in the Sun Porch watching a diversity of birds at the feeder right outside the window, drinking your coffee, was awesome. I could look at that view all day long. Barbara and Al were incredibly kind and gracious hosts. They give you all the space and privacy that you want, but readily available to answer any questions, provided recommendations for dining, hiking and fun places for us to take our dogs. They had a nice little packet of instructions in the cottage too with maps, dinner recommendations, sightseeing details etc. The cottage was stocked with nice shower amenities (even robes!) a nice little basket of goodies and fresh ground local coffee. Which was perfect as we arrived late in the evening and everything was closed in town. The property is wonderful for letting your doggies run around and our dogs loved getting to know their new doggie friends on the farm. But if you have no dogs, this spot is still perfect. Just minutes from town (and a straight shot too) but gives you the feeling like you are “living” on the island staying here. Every day after exploring the island in the mornings, we'd come back to the cottage and enjoy our lunch outside under the canopy and just enjoy the beautiful forest views. One day we took a nap, one day we just wander the property after eating. Then we'd refresh and get ready to go out to dinner and evening adventures in town. Saturday night we arrived back at Yankee Creek Farm early and spent some time with Barbara and Al waiting for the Super Moon to come up and it was just spectacular. They are great folks and we loved getting to know them too. It was exactly what we wanted from this vacation with our pups. Thank you both for everything and we look forward to seeing you again.

JoanJuly 2014

We had the most wonderful experience with Barbara and her family! Their farm is absolutely gorgeous and well kept. I don't think we could have had a better weekend! The weather was gorgeous & our hosts were amazing! The cabin was very clean, quiet and absolutely adorable! We loooooved the dogs, and amazing scenery!! We can't wait to go back for a visit! Barbara was very accommodating, even though we got in very late. Absolutely perfect weekend!

JourdynApril 2016

Excellent place to stay. Very dog friendly. Quiet place with tons of space for 2 people and 2 dogs. Barb and Al are very welcoming and helpful with island info. Not within walking distance to downtown area.

JaimieAugust 2016

Glen and I had the greatest time but I think our dogs had such a great time they didn't want to come home. The house and property are so beautiful and peaceful - a lovely get-a-way. Thanks Al and Barb for being such nice hosts and we even had goodies in the fridge which was appreciated! The location was perfect for coming and going while shrimping in our boat. We certainly want to return and visit your cottage. It was everything that we hoped for and more and such a great place for the dogs!

GlenJune 2016

This was a beautiful pastoral cottage. It was perfect for my stay. Barbara and Al were welcoming and friendly. They live in the main house just across the way so are available, but you have plenty of privacy at this beautiful property. The cottage is only about a 5 or 10 minute drive out of Friday Harbor. I recommend this cottage to single travelers or a couple. It is a perfect place to escape for solitude or to enjoy everything the island has to offer.

My place (2 stories with pool, hot tub, sauna) is on the water about 2.5 miles NW of town. Three levels of decks offer exceptional views of Orcas Island, the SJ Channel, wildlife, pleasure boats and ferries. Very quiet and peaceful. Close to parks, art and culture, great views, restaurants and dining (car needed).

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Chris

It was very easy to set up our last minute reservations. Rick was quite responsive and attentive. The property is interesting and the view is spectacular! We were sad to leave.

RichSeptember 2016

The place was as-advertised, clean, and generally great. The location was wonderful. And the host was helpful and communicative. We'd definitely consider returning here.

EricAugust 2016

Peaceful and serene. Absolutely beautiful views from the upper decks. The observation platform below the pool offers a 180° view that is stunning. We spent every morning enjoying locally roasted coffee by the shore. Otters, eagles, seals, deer and other various birds visited each day. Convenient but secluded location. Rick was very responsive and immediately offered solutions to a minor problem. The cabin is rustic but settled in quickly and it was quite cozy. The gas fireplace/stove is a nice relaxing touch. We never could get the hot tub to heat up, otherwise it was a great stay! As another guest pointed out, it might need more mirrors (ha ha).

JuliaNovember 2016

This place is a treasure. An amazing piece of property right on the Salish sea. The cabin is retro and cozy. The view is amazing. We saw Orca and Minke whales, sea lions and lots of birds. A deer greeted us one late afternoon. We'd recommend visiting Roche Harbor, San Juan Distillery (absolutely amazing spirits infused with local fruit, berries, herbs, bark and more), American Camp beach, Lime Kiln and Duck Soup Inn. If you are seeking serenity, ubelievable vistas in an older comphy cabin, this is your place. Very special. Needs, perhaps, more mirrors.

KateSeptember 2016

Enjoyed a wonderful (long) birthday weekend with my partner. This kitschy cabin is set in a wonderful location and perfect for a romantic get-a-way. Incredible view of which we spent hours just looking out over the sound and enjoying the view from the upper deck. Rick, the host, was extremely responsive and addressed a minor within minutes...great host.

ReneAugust 2016

The Petite Amour was even more unique and quaint than my husband and I had hoped. The View was indescribably gorgeous and with many amenities adding to the ambience.

DebJuly 2016

Donny's place is in a nice spot in Friday Harbor - close enough to walk to downtown and in a nice quiet location. Donny was very quick to respond to any questions and worked to make the stay in Friday Harbor a great one.

ScottNovember 2016

Nothing fancy but comfortable and clean. Quiet area with easy walk to restaurants.

JanetAugust 2016

Donny is a very welcoming host! He communicated all necessary details ahead of time which ensured that check-in was hassle free. The studio is located in a residential area and is very close to the ferry boarding point, about half a mile. We could walk to restaurants and cafes around the harbor. The neighborhood felt secured. The studio it self is great and as described. Donny kept in touch during the stay and shared pro tips about things to do on the island. I would certainly recommend Donny as a host for your next trip to Friday Harbor.

HarshalJuly 2015

Great location and Donny and Sarah were readily available to answer all questions. Only issue was tv reception, but that was not their problem.

KathyOctober 2016

Donny was super helpful and responsive when I called upon checking in. The space is private and feels like a hotel room with a better kitchen! I would stay there again.

DustinNovember 2016

Donny was responsive from the get-go. Received communications about how to get to the apartment, checking in, etc., right away. The studio was as advertised - 5-minute drive from the ferry terminal, close to the main strip of Friday Harbor, clean and cozy, and stocked with toiletries and kitchen needs. We enjoyed our time on the island - thanks!

AllenFebruary 2016

Had a great spontaneous birthday getaway for myself and my husband! The studio was clean and had everything we needed. Donny was incredibly helpful and suggested a hike, which we completed! We will most definitely go back. Thank you!

BrittanyFebruary 2015

Donny's place was amazing; so close to town, all you needed for a quick trip away, yet still all the amenities of your own home. Provided us with all the information we needed, before arriving and even provided us with further information once we arrived. Very helpful, great place, great location, we plan to book with Donny again!

Great private hotel style suite a block away from the ferry dock and in the center of everything Friday Harbor. This suite is just down the hallway from suite #1 and the laundry room. The hallway can be used to store bikes in.

The suite has a microwave, TV(dvd's only), a small refrigerator and coffee maker and y-fi. The hallway can be used to store bikes. The bed is a queen. Suite #2 is a studio. There is no air-conditioner. You will have your own bathroom and a small balcony attached to the suite. You have your own off street parking spot, it is a compact spot, so its a tight squeeze for bigger vehicles. The street can, from time to time, get noisy. Also the ladies in the exercise studio below the suite love their workouts! You will also have access to a washer and dryer, that is shared with suite #1.
As much or as little as the guest requires or wishes.

I can walk out my door and Friday Harbor is right there. Sometimes I have to pinch myself. Its such a lovely place. I could sit for hours watching the people, boats and planes coming and going and I often do. I feel like a traveler myself every time I go for a walk.

Brilliant experience from the start with excellent directions and within easy walking distance of the ferry terminal and centre of Friday Harbour. Beautiful, clean and comfortable accommodation with lots of thoughtful touches. Bed was really comfortable and I had the best nights sleep since being in the States. Loved the music and DVDs. Hope to return in the future. Thanks x

RuthSeptember 2015

Dave's place was very nice and clean. He was a very helpful host. We were a short walk from all of Friday Harbor. Thank you Dave!

ErikaJuly 2015

Loved it! Had everything that I needed and cozy!

LydiaJuly 2016

Initially a little tricky to find at night in the rain, but once I followed the itinerary directions I had no problem. It's a lovely space, very comfortable, safe, and warm. Location is ideal near the ferry terminal and downtown Friday Harbor. I felt great about my choice to stay there!

RyanOctober 2015

We were there for one night and we loved it. The room felt like a it belonged in a hotel. Walking distance to all of Friday Harbor.

KentSeptember 2015

Our stay here was WONDERFUL. The best of our honeymoon trip through the Northwest. If you are choosing between two places, CHOOSE HERE. And eat at Cask & Schooner--best meal of the trip as well.

LyndeeSeptember 2015

Everything was excellent. Perfect location, perfect decor, the bed was comfy, it was nice to have coffee in the morning in the room. We had everything we needed. Thank YOU!

TammySeptember 2015

My husband and I loved the suite and the proximity to town. Our ferry was very delayed the night we got in, so we didn't get to the island until after midnight. The directions to the suite were very clear which helped a lot since we were pretty tired. We brought some food with us since we were staying for more than the weekend, so the small refrigerator and microwave were really nice to have. I wasn't expecting it to be so hotel-like, so the lavender shampoo, soap and chocolates were a nice surprise. Overall, we had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed being able to walk into town. The only thing that would have made our stay better would have been complimentary puppies :)

This is the master bedroom with ensuite full bathroom in a waterfront house. There is 100ft of beach to use including a kayak and paddle board.
The room includes a king bed, closet, desk and wifi. Its great for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.
You'll have your own entrance and can choose whether treat your room/bathroom/closet as a private apartment or interact with us.

Master bedroom, cal king bed, ensuite bathroom in a modern waterfront beach house

Please note, this house is right on the waterfront, so especially in the winter, if there is a strong South or Easterly wind, there is considerable noise of the wind whistling around the house. If you love storms, this might be a wonderful, cozy experience, if you are worried that it may keep you up at night, you may want to consider ear plugs.

Had a wonderful time at Nige's place. He had great suggestions for activities and the walk out to Cattle Point Lighthouse was lovely. Appreciated the food recommendations as well, Nige was so nice! Beautiful view, super peaceful.Would go back in a heartbeat!

DenaliOctober 2016

A beautiful house with a great location on the water. The suite was very large and very comfortable with a view of the water. Would gladly stay there again. Nige was very accommodating, easy to communicate with and quick to respond to emails.

BruceOctober 2016

Absolutely amazing place to stay! Nige is a wonderful host. Such a beautiful getaway!

This cabin is nestled in the fir and cedar forest with great morning light and views. Blessed with peace and quiet, privacy, and comfort this cabin is perfect for a writing retreat, romantic getaway, or to stay in during our retreats or workshops. This is rustic luxury at its best! A beautiful bathhouse with shower, claw foot tub, laundry and a private outhouse are just steps away.
You can have a quiet, private retreat or choose to visit with us in the garden if we are out and about. We live on Orcas year round, and have a large organic garden, grow mushrooms and have chickens. We've always got interesting projects in the works, and there are opportunities to volunteer and learn. Ask to purchase in season produce fresh from the garden!
Were usually home and are happy to help in any way we can. Please let us know when you will be arriving via text or email so we can be available to answer any questions or help you get oriented if need be.
Check in time: 3pm
Check out time: 12pm

Our homestead is at the end of a quiet road, and behind Maple Rock Farm. We're blessed with peace and quiet and lots of wildlife and healthy native surroundings.
Were 7 minutes from the ferry landing, and Pinneo Rd. is opposite the Deer Harbor Rd. turn off. Bicyclers are welcome, and we can give rides into Eastsound if need be.
We have a very friendly and beautiful 1 year old dog, she's safe with kids, and is very welcoming. She may try to say hi by pawing you and we apologize in advance. You might not even see her unless you are in the garden or near the shop, she generally stays close to us.
Please bring a headlamp or flashlight as the trails to the bath house, outhouse and sauna etc are down easy but dark trails. Bring appropriate forest footwear as well.

This little house was such a joy to stay in. Very cozy and secluded, and we stayed perfectly warm even through the very cold nights. We were sad to leave, but hope to make it back someday in the near future :) Erin and Issa were very welcoming and left a phone number for us to text them if we needed anything. The house was well prepared and warm when we got there. We would highly recommend staying here.

KeenanJanuary 2016

Erin was a gracious host! She was so readily available. I unfortunately did not get to meet her during my stay but she made a point of being reachable by phone. She even dropped off eggs from the farm for us to have breakfast one morning. It was really a fantastic stay.

SarahApril 2016

Erin did't require a formal check-in/check-out process which was actually really helpful since we didn't have to coordinate the arrival process. There were also hand-written instructions to the different important areas on the property (e.g. outhouse, shower, etc.) as well as check-put requests. This was really helpful to have on hand in the cabin! The cabin is really sweet and the property is just beautiful. Climbing the ladder up and down to the loft space take a bit of getting used to, but that is expected. There is a gas range (with some match books to light), oven (which we didn't use) and a double stainless steel sink. There are some utensils, mugs (though only 1 had a handle) and plates to use. We brought our own electric water kettle to make coffee in the mornings and tea at night, and found that to be easier than lighting the range each time. The space heater they have is really great (now we're thinking of tracking down a similar one haha) and brings the cabin up to a cozy temperature very quickly. It also has a thermostat setting so it will maintain a comfortable temperature by automatically switching on and off. The shower/bath areas are really clean and pretty with mirrors and some shelf space. The outhouse is an outhouse...but as the instructions assured us we could just pee in the surrounding bushes, we didn't make much use of it. Erin also left us fresh towels, a trash can and compost bucket. Staying in the fall was beautiful with the changing colors. We also had to be very careful not to hit deer while driving around (had 2 close calls!). All in all, it was a really wonderful little vacation for 2, and we would gladly stay again!

JaneSeptember 2016

The cabin was beautiful! Communication was clear and hosts were gracious. Their neighbor hosted us while they were away and he was attentive and available for any concerns. It was the perfect quiet retreat. Lovely surroundings! We loved checking out the garden and chickens. The only bummer for us was the wood stove in the description had been removed, but the space heater works well and we were very cozy. There are kitchen amenities (stove, oven, sink, some cookware) minus the fridge. we didn't get to use the sauna this time, but will definitely try it out next time. We hope to visit again soon!

ChristaApril 2016

This little cabin was perfect for a weekend away from the city. It definitely is small (as it looks so in the photos). There is a fire pit right outside the door as well! While there were some cobwebs inside, I didnt see a single spider. The bath house was very clean. The outhouse might not be for everyone (especially if you are tall). The others we encountered on the land were very friendly and welcoming. The space heater provider ample heat for the little space as well.

BriaunaJune 2016

Issa and Erin were great hosts. Issa brought fresh eggs one day and the cabin had everything we needed.

CraigJanuary 2016

Hi Erin, I loved the Tiny cabin. It was quiet, warm, cozy and the glamor of Glamping! However I do have some feed back for you, I hope you take it with an open heart.

JeannineMarch 2016

Cute, cozy, and comfortable! A great bike riding destination with a great campfire at the end of the evening. We loved the fresh vegetables too!

We arrived earlier than expected but the host was on the premises as he has other units in the same complex and he showed us our unit and gave us some tips on where to eat in Friday Harbor. The unit was as pictured. One suggestion would be if you have a choice, to take a unit on the upper floor (which is actually on street level) as there was quite a bit of noise at times from the unit above us. (which was no fault of Tim's) We liked that the place was close to Friday Harbor downtown, but in a quiet area on the edge of town.

PattiSeptember 2015

Tim and the place were great! He met us at the agreed upon time and walked us through the space and even gave us helpful tips on places to eat and things to see and do on the island. The space was nicely appointed and clean. We appreciate having a place to call home while in Friday Harbor. Thanks Tim!

NicholasJune 2015

Listing was exactly as described. Unit was clean and bed was very comfortable, now I want a King size bed for home.

NickSeptember 2015

Tim was very helpful and friendly on our arrival . Answering our questions and helping us with some additional needs. He is the perfect host. Thank you. The place itself is an older Motel which I was not aware of at booking. They have a swimming pool on one end and an open space - patio in the center of the buildings. The unit we rented had a nice clean kitchen with some kitchen ware - just what we needed to make our breakfast or a fast snack. essentials for the shower were present.

BeateJuly 2016

Tim's place was clean and comfortable. It was just a few minutes walk from the restaurants and shops of Friday Harbor. He was very responsive whenever I contacted him. The condo was a good value.

JeffMay 2016

Location was perfect..Nice to have a kitchen during stay..bed was comfortable and shower was adequate.

SaraAugust 2016

It was the basic necessities for a weekend away. Comfortable bed, coffee in the morning, and a hot shower.

LaurenSeptember 2015

Enticing Waterfront Cottage! Special for the Quiet Months: $111 per night (no extra-person fees). Our charming 400 sq. ft. cottage offers seclusion and peace, a mile walk from town, but a step back in time & away from hustle & bustle.

The cottage is nestled in it's own private yard, feet away from a small salt water bay, Jackson's Lagoon, which is part of the larger North Bay. A natural stream and pond run into the bay, and provide a boundary with the adjacent property. Share the yard with blue herons, kingfishers, eagles, deer and fox, and
watch the moon rise bigger than life over North Bay at dusk.
The secluded yard offers off-street parking, a patio table, propane barbeque, and fire pit for the summer months. Blackberry pies are there for the picking in the quiet winter months, or create a 1st Honeymoon, 2nd Honeymoon, or holiday turkey memories in the snug warm cottage. We add your choice of wine or champagne your birthday or anniversary celebrations.
The Cottage is private, but we are here if you need us, it's up to you!

Sawmill Creek Cottage is the original caretaker's cottage for a sawmill that operated on the property in the 30's and 40's. The cottage is the only reminder left of the mill. The cottage looks across the water to Jackson's Beach, which is popular beach with a public boat launch.
While the island is too small to support public transit, during the summer there is a shuttle service for a reasonable fee, and we are happy to pick you up and deliver you, if possible, when you don't bring a car or rent one locally.
New queen size all-natural fiber bed in separate bedroom, and queen sized tempurpedic sleeper sofa in living area.
We accomodate 4, but 2 or 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children are most comfortable in the space.

Our stay at the Cottage was everything we had hoped for. It is clean and charming and well stocked and the hosts have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into making it into the perfect getaway. It is conveniently located and easy to find. Phebe went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and settled in. The island of San Juan has plenty to do and see, and it was wonderful coming home to the cottage at the end of each day.

JoshuaNovember 2015

Couldn't be happier with our experience. The cabin is absolutely perfect in every way. Close enough to walk to town (20 min) but far enough to feel secluded from everything. Steps to the water, fire pit, BBQ, even satellite tv which we weren't expecting. Phebe and Victor were wonderful hosts and just flat out good people. Next time we visit the island there is no question where we will stay.

ChrisJuly 2016

Phebe's cabin was in a perfect location for us, just outside town near to the water and a basketball court for the kids! The cabin was small but very clean and comfortable with everything you would need for a few days. Phebe's communication with us in advance of arrival was fabulous even calling me on my mobile to let me know the cabin was ready a couple of hours early. Thanks for having us!

The Sawmill Creek Cottate is a perfect spot to land on San Juan Island. So comfortable, clean, many amenities for cooking our own meals and the loveliest view of the water out the main picture window. Peaceful and quiet but with all the amenities of home. We had a lovely evening with wine and cheese, never having to leave the comfort of the couch. Would return in a moment if we could. Phebe made herself available but we never needed a thing.

Beautiful view with access to the shore. Fun to walk the shore at low tide. Close to town. Very pleasant host and very helpful. House is cozy and clean.

Phebe and Victor have done a superb job of setting up Sawmill Creek Cottage for a visit to the beautiful San Juan Island. The cottage has a wonderful blend of rural charm, comfort, privacy and sea views whilst also having modern facilities and is close to Friday Harbor. Phebe gave us very useful advance information and made the cottage very welcoming for our arrival. We had a wonderful stay and would dearly love to return for longer than a two nights in the future.

RonOctober 2016

The rustic little cottage is set back off the main road in a private rural setting, very quiet and beautiful, views of a cove. We got married the morning of our stay and were delighted to find this quaint secluded retreat all ready for us. We were greeted by a our favorite beverage tied with a celebration ribbon! The house was perfect for the two of us to share the first days of our new life together. Phebe and Victor have created a sweet retreat to just chill and enjoy the island. For those who need more, there is a great TV/DVD. Comfortable, clean, no interruptions! Thank you for making this trip special. Was just like being home, only not.

JoyOctober 2015

My 2 friends and I had a really wonderful time at Phebe's cottage home. She has the place thoughtfully decorated and it's fully equipped with all the cooking utensils and amenities a couple or small family could want for a vacation. It's within walking distance of town and just a short drive from a gorgeous national park. We also spent significant time on the grounds themselves because they are also lovely. We enjoyed watching families of deer walking along the lake from the front windows of Phebe's cottage. The view of the lake is a little obscured by bushes from the front window but Phebe has conveniently placed comfortable lounge chairs in front of the lake just a few steps away and you can fully enjoy lakefront living. We spent a whole day just reading and lounging in the area. Phebe is a wonderful hostess with great communication skills and attentiveness to guest's needs.

Shuttle and taxi at ferry landing
Purified bottled water continues to be provided for drinking and cooking.

This cabin was such a find for us. It's centrally located. Comfortably furnished. Thoughtful amenities (fresh eggs! Coffee, juice, yogurt). We were warmly welcomed by friendly hosts. Felt right at home (as did our dog). A beautiful piece of property we enjoyed exploring with Scott. Two days wasn't long enough for us.

NancyAugust 2016

Everything is as described and shown on listing. Lovely cabin away from busy Friday Harbor while still being close enough to benefit from all it has to offer. Fridge was stocked and we were able to eat fresh eggs from Scott's happy chickens each morning. Lovely stay, just what we needed.

RachelJuly 2016

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time at Scott's cabin. Everything about the cabin is just perfect. I could not recommend the place more. We will definitely be returning.

SaumJanuary 2016

Scott and Kim are amazing hosts! The cabin is a beautiful spot overlooking a pond. You will need a car to get to town, but it is a quick drive to Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor. A great spot for 1 or 2 next to the hosts' home. A great little kitchen and mini-fridge are inside with a perfect spot to relax and have a great stay.

FraserJuly 2014

We had such a lovely time here. Everything you need, nothing you don't! The weather was pretty cool during our stay and it was so great to have the warm cabin to cozy up in. The cutest chickens roam the property and we LOVED hearing the rooster! Getting into town took under 10 minutes, plus, the scenery is beautiful and usually includes a camel sighting. We had such a relaxing getaway and Scott was very helpful and welcoming. Definitely a great host!

AllisonMarch 2016

This cabin was the perfect launching point for our island activities. The fridge is stocked with breakfast sundries, the bed is very soft, the WiFi made life easy lacking normal cell service, and the deck and pond made us wish we'd set aside a day to sit and have a beer at home! We'll definitely be back.

MattSeptember 2016

Adorable cabin! Welcoming and friendly host. We enjoyed our time very much. We enjoyed fresh, delicious eggs from the farm chickens for breakfast which were devoured after a previous day of biking the island. The cabin is about 5 miles from Friday Harbor. The roosters start crowing when the sun comes up. Keep in mind if you want a place to sleep in. Otherwise, a good natural alarm clock. I water does smell heavily of sulfur (when showering or washing dishes), but the host provides ample drinking water. Excellent communication with the host. Thanks, Scott!

SachiSeptember 2014

It's a great little cabin in a secluded area next to a pond. The hosts are very pleasant people.

100 year old cozy guest house most recently used as a tole painting studio with three rooms for overnight guests. Ambience is a mix of rustic, artsy, and 1980s country. Conveniently located within walking distance of ferry and downtown Friday Harbor.

This 900 sq ft guest house is great for families and small groups who want to hang out in their own space. It is quirky and cozy; definitely a reflection of the eclectic history of the house. It easily fits two couples and two singles, but has only 1 bathroom.
Hot breakfast is served to you in the guest house at prearranged time between 7:30 and 8:30 AM. The guest house is stocked with games, puzzles, reading books, guide books and some family friendly movies. There is a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, large toaster oven, dishes and cooking utensils. Kitchenette is best used for reheating or serving takeout food. The TV is hooked up to cable, with limited channels and there is a DVD player.
There is a patio between the houses where guests can relax on a sunny day. The main house is the personal home of the property owner, but guests are welcome to have a tour of the home if they are curious.
Host will greet you upon arrival and will give a brief tour of the property and amenities. If you want to get ideas for things to do or places to go, she will be gracious and helpful. But if you just want to do it on your own, that's okay too!
Typically, host is around the property in the mornings and then is out and about during the day. Always available by cell phone at (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN) if there are issues.

Close to shops, restaurants, and museums, this guest house is ideally located to enjoy all that Friday Harbor has to offer. Great for walk-ons or bikers, as it is an 8 block walk from the ferry.
See Guidebook for restaurant recommendations.
From May-September San Juan Transit makes hourly trips to popular island destinations, including Roche Harbor, Lime Kiln Lighthouse, historic English Camp, San Juan Vineyards, and the Alpaca Farm.
Check out the various modes of transportation offered through Susie's Mopeds at (URL HIDDEN) This site also has links to many of the local attractions.
If you are driving, ferry reservations are STRONGLY recommended. In case you haven't yet made a reservation, don't be daunted by the ferry reservation system. Here's the scoop...
30% of the reservations are released when the schedule is posted, then 30% more are released two weeks prior to the sailing and another 30% two days prior to the sailing. There is 10% for last minute and another percentage of people that don't show.
While Friday Harbor is a pretty quiet town, this house is situated on one of the busier streets that connects with some of the major roads dispersing travelers throughout the island. There is some background traffic noise, but most people have said it isn't a bother.

Great space for our family and a great breakfast.

IsaacOctober 2016

Kelley was the perfect host, helpful with suggestions before we arrived and even picked us up baby formula when we ran out. Beds very comfy, breakfast was delicious, rooms as advertised. Short walk into town. Just what we wanted!

sarahMay 2016

Kelley is the most amazing host I have had through AirBnb. She was extremely accommodating of our *very* late arrival to her place, and yet prepared a very delicious breakfast the next morning to get us going the following morning! She was very prompt in communicating prior to and during our stay, helped us plan our time on San Juan Island, and made tasty breakfast daily that was tuned to our dietary preferences and restrictions. As if that was not enough, her place is positively adorable! Well located 5 min drive from the Ferry Terminal and within 10 min walking distance to downtown Friday Harbor, the unit is tastefully decorated, well-stocked and spotless clean. Beds in all rooms were very comfortable, making it hard to even get out of bed... had it not been for the aforementioned delicious breakfast :P This might be our new favorite go-to spot to stay in Friday Harbor, and I highly recommend it for anyone with a group size of 4-6.

ArpanSeptember 2015

A clean and comfortable place right in Friday Harbor. Kelley is a super friendly host and made us feel very welcome. Great breakfasts!

JeffMay 2016

Kelly is a fantastic host!! We felt so home and so comfortable..She remembered my interests from my bio and made some great recommendations :) We had a great time chatting and staying at her home. Home in itself was very beautiful and has art incorporated in a lot of places..we had a great night's sleep!:)

MridulaOctober 2015

Kelley was super thoughtful and accommodating. She greeted us with fresh baked bread and other tasty snacks upon arrival. The cabin was perfectly comfortable for our group of four gals. Breakfast was super yummy and made especially to order for us.

NicoleNovember 2015

Kelly was a wonderful host. She was very helpful in giving us recommendations of things to do on the Island. Her guest hose was very spacious, cozy, and is in great location. Having Cable TV in the house was also a plus. Her breakfast was also very delicious :)

VisaweeNovember 2016

Kelley is an awesome host. We always felt at home during our stay. She clarified all our questions and the breakfast was awesome. Would recommend this place to anyone who visits Friday Harbor in future

Lovely little cottage tucked away. Not much in the way of shopping, but it is pretty near the DH marina if you come in by float plane.

jayNovember 2016

Lovely!

MeganNovember 2016

The Gnome house is a magically home with lots of character. The hottub wasn't working right away and Bob worked hard to get it fixed for our second night just in time for a bonfire and star gazing. We had a lovely time and plan to make it there again!

NickJune 2016

We LOVED the Gnome House. It was like a sweet little magical place with flowers and gnomes and beautifully carved wood everywhere you look. This place is perfect for a little couples getaway where you can hot tub under the stars, have a bonfire and sip coffee at the cute breakfast nook. We didn't get a chance to meet our hosts, but we met all o their pets, who greeted us every time we walked out the front door or came back in our car. We miss Cedar the dog already!

SaraMay 2015

Had an absolutely lovely stay at the Gnome House! Bob and Meg have a created a really unique experience that oozes charm and comfort. Massive ceilings, delightful wood burning stove, a sleigh bed and a nook bed as well! The house was well stocked with everything you could need. Clean and well appointed. We took a walk up the hill behind the house for a marvelous view and the resident cat followed us! Made for a great little hike. If you get the chance stay at the Gnome House for a one of a kind experience.

NicholasJanuary 2016

I had a wonderful weekend stay at the gnome house. It was the perfect getaway! This house is quite amazing! It has so much character with a cozy feel. The location is great, too. Meg and Bob had lots of information on the ferry and that was super helpful! Overall great experience.

AlexaSeptember 2016

A very magical place indeed.

SaraNovember 2016

Deer Harbor is a lovely location. Biking is a bit tough on Orcas. Gnome house is as quaint as pictures show. Best suited for no more than 2 adults and kids ages 5-12 due to the space.
